Greetings everyone. It would be a pleasure to make your acquaintance. Most recently in my life, most people call me Breq, but I am also Justice of Toren. Please forgive the immediate discussion of business; however, I have some issues that need to be addressed.

Athoek Station, part of it, has arrived with me, and Station - its AI - is in need of more assistance than I can provide. The Botanical Gardens, recently repaired, will need regular work to maintain it. Given enough time, I can take care of the rest of Station. The Undergarden was mostly repaired, and I can fix what remains. However, living things cannot be ignored for so long. Unfortunately, having just arrived, I do not have local currency on a scale to pay anyone yet. I do have more than enough food, we grow our own, as well as tea and other options, pursuant to conversation and your needs.

While I could spend all my hours maintaining Station, and I will spend a good number of them doing just that, I am also interested in gaining paid employment. I have roughly two thousand years experience in the military, five years experience as civilian security, as well as experience in a multitude of jobs from janitorial to sewing to sports. I am fluent in more than sixty languages and learn new ones easily. If you have means and need for any of my skills or ones I could learn, I am interested in speaking with you.

I too am glad I survived it. But I believe the individual did not understand the danger they were in.

I would like to ask them questions, whoever would have the answers. It is encouraging they choose their paladins, but it does not remove many many questions. It is a shame they are not here. I would enjoy the conversation.

It is rare that time permits anyone to work on one thing and one thing alone. Even one project can grow many parts. I am glad for your friend. The limitations, even temporarily, can be frustrating and, more importantly, have significant consequences. Depending on what happens. Which, here, could be anything.

What information would you need to be able to gather to work on terraforming potential here? It may not be possible. The technology is quite limited. But I have not been here long enough to judge.

Are they okay?

I think they'd definitely be willing to talk to you! I can introduce you at some point. I'm not sure how talkative the lions would be with someone they haven't chosen as a paladin. They didn't talk to me at all. But I also didn't really have much time to try talking to them, either, to be fair.

I'd have to think about exactly what I'd need. If I ever find myself with a lack of things to do, I'll put some thought into it. Doesn't seem likely to happen anytime soon though. Do you have a particular interest in it?

At that time, yes. It's been a couple months since then, so I cannot speak to their current state.

Thank you, that is appreciated. It's very easy to go without talking, and I would guess many people do not take or have the time to talk with them.

The to do list has only gotten longer, despite the help. I have never been involved with terraforming a planet, but I have some familiarity with many planets that have been terraformed. The difficulty and complexity of the processes involved are comparable to other kinds of systems and problems. I find it worth thinking about, but it's had little practical application in my life.
